Thanks for cleaning up my code. It's much better now.
I didn't know the userspace names of kernel types. I didn't think a 32bit userspace calling a 64bit kernel would break because there's a compat_sys_pselect6() in linux.

Commit e3c3bf2b58 introduce use of pselect6, but has following disadvantages:
Use of userspace types in args67 structure - it breaks, for example, configs when 32-bit uClibc-ng compiled against 64-bit kernel. Syscall will always return EINVAL. We must use __kernel_* types and __SYSCALL_SIGSET_T_SIZE.
It have excess checks for NSEC_PER_SEC. Original code from select() implementation has struct timeval => struct timespec conversion, kernel select() syscall implementation do the same. But none of libc versions (glibc, eglibc, musl) I know, perform similar checks for pselect() - there is no structure fields conversions, just struct timespec through all the calls. To have such checks in uClibc-ng we need one example, at least.
It is possible to avoid extra userspace reads from kernel code if sigmask == NULL. I suggest to do it, for a few bytes cost.
Commit didn't add test case to testsuite.
